i had watched this one quite some time ago and forgot to post about it.

la rivière du hibou (an occurrence at owl creek bridge) (1962)

a wonderful short film based off of the ambrose bierce story of the same name.
well-acted, well-paced, the composition is lush and dream-like...

...which is appropriate.

the bad thing here was that the netflix disc has an absolutely horrendous transfer on it. the picture is muddy, sometimes beyond recognition, the audio is filled with pops and hisses, which are often louder than the dialogue and sound.
however, that is a testament to the film itself. despite a wretched transfer, it was still incredibly enjoyable.
